This paper examines the availability of Internet services in Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) for developing countries such as Ghana, with respect to the cost and usage. We looked at the source of Internet services and the bandwidth package for some Higher Learning Institutions in Accra, Ghana. One of the key objectives of this study is to design and simulates an efficient Internet bandwidth usage for Higher Learning Intuitions. We examined the cost of bandwidth package offered by the Internet service providers to these higher institutions. In looking at the cost we also included the bandwidth packages offered, the type of Internet connection and the service level agreement with the ISPs. In the study, we looked at how the Internet is distributed to these institutions and the equipment used in the distribution of the Internet services. Ipswich Whatsup Gold software was used to monitor the network infrastructure for one of the institutions in the study. We went further to monitor the bandwidth consumption for Ghana Technology University College, one of the institutions in the study, to monitor their bandwidth consumption and traffic flow in the network. In designing an efficient bandwidth management for the Higher Learning Institution, we model and configured a network in Packet tracer using a proxy cache box. This technique allows for an efficient bandwidth planning capacity to manage the bandwidth consumptions. At the end of the study, we modeled a network using cache box to restrict and minimize bandwidth usage and thus making it less expensive for the Higher Learning Institutions.

Decrease Energy Consumption

This article describes how a rapid increase in usage of internet has emerged from last few years. This high usage of internet has occurred due to increase in popularity of multimedia applications. However, there is no guarantee of Quality of Service to the users. To fulfill the desired requirements, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) establish a service level agreement (SLA) with clients including specific parameters like bandwidth, reliability, cost, power consumption, etc. ISPs make maximum SLAs and decrease energy consumption to raise their profit. As a result, users do not get the desired services for which they pay. Virtual Software Defined Networks are flexible and manageable networks which can be used to achieve these goals. This article presents shortest path algorithm which improves the matrices like energy consumption, bandwidth usage, successful allocation of nodes in the network using VSDN approach. The results show a 40% increase in the performance of proposed algorithms with a respect to existing algorithms.

Internet Service

As computing and Internet connections become general-purpose technologies and services aimed at broad global markets, questions arise about the effectiveness of such markets in terms of public welfare, the participation of differentiated service providers and end-users. Motorola’s Iridium Global Communications project was completed in the 1990s due to similar issues, reaching the goal of technological connectivity for the first time. As Internet services are characterized by high innovation, differentiation and dynamism, they can use well-known models of differentiated products. However, the demand functions in such models are hyperbolic rather than linear. In addition, such models are stochastic and include providers with different ways of competing. In the Internet ecosystem, the links between Internet service providers (ISPs) as telecommunications operators and content service providers are important, especially high-bandwidth video content providers. As increasing bandwidth requires new investments in network capacity, both video content providers and ISPs need to be motivated to do so. In order to analyze the relationships between Internet service providers and content providers in the Internet ecosystem, computable models, based on the construction of payoff functions for all the participants in the ecosystem, are suggested. The introduction of paid content browsing will motivate Internet service providers to invest in increasing the capacity of the global network, which has a trend of exponential growth. At the same time, such a browsing will violate the principles of net neutrality, which provides grounds for the development of new tasks to minimize the violations of net neutrality and maximize the social welfare of the Internet ecosystem. The models point to the importance of the efficiency of Internet service providers, the predictability of demand and the high price elasticity of innovative services.

Abstract:The internet developed for the first time in Indonesia in the early 1990s. Starting from the pagayuban network, it is now expanding without boundaries anywhere. A survey conducted by the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) said that the number of internet users in Indonesia in 2012 reached 63 million people or 24.23 percent of the country's total population. Next year, that figure is predicted to increase by close to 30 percent to 82 million users and continue to grow to 107 million in 2014 and 139 million or 50 percent of the total population in 2015. million people. This matter also results in political communication with the internet media, or is often said to be cyber politics. Cyber politics in Indonesia has faced growth in recent years. There are many facilities that support the growth of cyber politics, such as Facebook, Twitter, mailing list, YouTube, and others.Keywords: Cyberpolitik, Internet  Abstrak:Internet berkembang pertama kali di Indonesia pada awal tahun 1990-an.

Radio Access

The net neutrality principle states that users should have equal access to all Internet content and that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should not practice differentiated treatment on any of the Internet traffic. While net neutrality aims to restrain any kind of discrimination, it also grants exemption to a certain category of traffic known as specialized services (SS), by allowing the ISP to dedicate part of the resources for the latter. In this work, we consider a heterogeneous LTE/WiFi wireless network and we investigate revenue-maximizing Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection strategies that are net neutrality-compliant, with exemption granted to SS traffic. Our objective is to find out how the bandwidth reservation for SS traffic would be made in a way that allows maximizing the revenue while being in compliance with net neutrality and how the choice of the ratio of reserved bandwidth would affect the revenue. The results show that reserving bandwidth for SS traffic in one RAT (LTE) can achieve higher revenue. On the other hand, when the capacity is reserved across both LTE and WiFi, higher social benefit in terms of number of admitted users can be realized, as well as lower blocking probability for the Internet access traffic.

The Relationship

The method of calculating the level of equity of internet services of several cities or provinces in a country is a statistical measure showing how far the internet service speed distribution being measured is to have similarities with the reference distribution of all elements equal to one, where the determination of the level of equity is done by calculating the Index Haryadi from the relationship between internet service speed distribution as measured by reference distribution. In this case, an equalization index equal to one represents a perfect similarity between the elements of the distribution as measured by the pairs of elements of the reference distribution. Let R be the reference distribution = {0.7 Mbps; 0.8 Mbps; 0.9 Mbps; 1 Mbps; 1.1 Mbps; 1.2 Mbps; 1.3 Mbps; 1.4 Mbps} and Y is the measured internet rate = = 1.05 Mbps; 1.2 Mbps; 1.35 Mbps; 2 Mbps; 1.65 Mbps; 1.8 Mbps; 1.95 Mbps; 2.1 Mbps}, then Y has an Internet service equalization index equal to one, through the Y = 1.5R relationship function because all elements of Y are equal to 1.5 times of the pairing elements of R.

The Cost

With the recent rise in the cost of transactions on blockchain platforms, there is a need to explore other service models that may provide a more predictable cost to customers and end-users. We discuss the Contract Service Provider (CSP) model as a counterpart of the successful Internet Service Provider (ISP) model. Similar to the ISP business model based on peered routing-networks, the CSP business model is based on multiple CSP entities forming a CSP Community or group offering a contract service for specific types of virtual assets. We discuss the contract domain construct which encapsulates well-defined smart contract primitives, policies and contract-ledger. We offer a number of design principles borrowed from the design principles of the Internet architecture.
